Description / Synopsis
Notes - This is a detailed collection of events written as a story about the extended Soper family. The author uses her aunt's diary as well as her own excellent memory to detail life in Athabasca from 1910 onwards. Some of the chapters in this story are titled, "The Learning Process at Home," "Immigration Hall," "A Long Love Affair," "A Strange Phenomenon," and "Anecdotes and Friends and Neighbours." Homesteads, neighbours, and locations are discussed in great detail. Settlers are mentioned by name, temperament and occupation. Details from the diary such as the weather on April 9, 1922 'snow all gone' to June 5 'Froze-thin ice' to June 6 'hard frost' are an example of the lists and richness of daily life included in this personal history (127 pages) |
